In the middle of the cigar, there were some burn issues that I had to fix with my lighter. However, draw remained perfect and I think the Umbagog, though on the cheaper end of the DT&T product list, is still a very well made cigar.While there were some flaws in the cigar, at the end of the day, smoking it was an enjoyable experience that I wish had lasted a little bit longer for the size.
